NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY - PERSONAL PROJECT
YEAR 2014
Rehab (2014)
is provoking shoot highlighting animal conservation in Thailand by exposing the abuse of endangered Gibbons in the tourist trade, and the work of The Wild Animal Rescue Foundation Thailand (WARF) to rehabilitate them back to the wild.
Humans and Gibbons are very closely related. We both live in small family units, and have remarkably similar biology and physiology.
Tom wants to raise awareness of how these animals need to be protected and challenge peoples awareness, by discouraging the use of Gibbons and other wild animals in the tourist trade, hopefully leading to increased support for this and other animal conservation projects in Thailand.
The work will be artistic portraits of Gibbon life, mimicked by Hunan models, and tracking the life stories if actual Gibbons currently being rehabilitated in Phuket.
